You're far more optimistic than I am. People can find many ways to mold statistics to fit their beliefs (or simply reject the numbers as a deep state conspiracy).
This debate will never be over.
- chii 6y agoit's not a debate if they refuse to look at evidence in a scientific and neutral light. Instead, it's a propaganda fight.
- brlewis 6y agoIt won't be refusing to look; it will be asserting speculation as fact, e.g. saying that the excess deaths are from increased domestic abuse and suicide because of the lockdown. EDIT: This is not in reference to comments here on HN. I wrote this before seeing any comments referencing those other causes of death, and those comments here on HN are not presenting speculation as fact.
